(US) Run off-cycle payroll

Establish payroll dates

1. Paygroup – select the paygroup for which to run the off-cycle payroll and click “Next.” If you have just one paygroup, it is automatically selected.

2. The payroll dates for your regular pay period will automatically be populated based on your payroll frequency and your prior payroll. 
3. Off-cycle (default: No) – set the toggle to 'Yes' and the last day of the pay cycle will automatically roll back by a day. Note: no two payrolls can have the same cycle end date.
4. Pay date – use the date picker to adjust the suggested pay date, if needed. Note: you need to approve payroll four (4) business days prior to the desired pay date by 3pm EST if employees are paid using direct deposit. 
5. Select deductions – Add or remove any applicable deductions by clicking the orange 'Select deductions' link. Note: deductions are automatically withheld on regular payrolls but you need to manually indicate if you need any deductions withheld on an off-cycle payroll. 
6. Click “Next.”

Pay hourly employees

1. Hours – enter or import the hours worked for your hourly employees. 

2. Add / remove income types – Add any applicable earnings like commission, overtime, time worked on holiday by clicking the orange 'Add / remove income types' link. Note: earnings that are set to be paid out with each paycheck will automatically be included and displayed. 

3. Pay? (default: Yes, until changed) – set the toggle to 'No' if you want to exclude an employee from the current payroll. Note: once changed, the current setting will be the new default, which means you will need to set the toggle back to 'Yes' when you run payroll next. 

4. Click “Save/next.” 

Pay salaried employees

1. Hours – enter the hours worked. If left blank, the app will use the Expected hours per weekvalue or the default 40 hours per week, divided by the number of pay periods in the selected frequency. For e.g. a semi-monthly employee's paystub will display 86.66 hours if left blank.
2. Normal pay – the app will calculate and display the gross regular wages using the salaried employee's annual rate of pay divided by the number of pay periods in the selected frequency. 
3. Current pay – same as Normal pay; however, you can edit the Current pay amount if you want to make adjustments for employee's who were hired or terminated in the middle of the pay period. 

4. Add / remove income types – Add any applicable earnings like commission, overtime, time worked on holiday by clicking the orange 'Add / remove income types' link. Note: earnings that are set to be paid out with each paycheck will automatically be included and displayed.

5. Pay? (default: Yes, until changed) – set the toggle to 'No' if you want to exclude an employee from the current payroll. Note: once changed, the current setting will be the new default, which means you will need to set the toggle back to 'Yes' when you run payroll next.

Paying employees and remitting taxes

1. Navigate to the Reports > Payroll invoices tab once you have confirmation that the payroll has been finalized.
2. The total amount indicated on the payroll invoice will be collected from your company bank account on the date that payroll is finalized. Ensure you have sufficient funds in your company bank account to avoid any penalties due to insufficient funds. 
3. Funds for net pay – this is the total amount of funds that will be collected from your company bank account to pay employees who are setup for direct deposit. This will match the Deposit summary report. Note: you will need to write paper checks to employees who are not setup for direct deposit or if you disable direct deposit in your company settings.  

4. Source deductions – this is the total amount of funds that will be remitted in federal, state and local taxes on your behalf. This will match the Tax remittance report, where you can find a detailed breakdown of the taxes withheld. Note: you will need to remit taxes to the government manually if you have disabled tax remittances in your company settings. 

5. Wagepoint processing fees – this is the total amount of fees collected for using our app.
